Ever since that night these men have often left their businesses and profes- sions without remuneration to meet together and hew away at the granite problems. Contracts were let to Marshall and Brown, Architects and Engineers: to George E. Bau- mann Construction Company, Bales Electric Construction Company, and the Midwest Plumbing and Heating Company. On August 27, 1957 work was begtm on the more than one million dollar structure. Classroom wings are scheduled for opening on August 29 and November 28. Completion of the wing planned for use by both the Junior and Senior High School, which includes a gymnasium, auditorium, cafeteria, and library, will soon follow.

TON. H. S. STUDENTS: When NJ-LS. students reach age 50, 60, or 70, they enioy recalling memories of their high school days . Believe me, you students of 1957-58 will be no different in this respect! Ten years following graduation you will proba- bly hold your first class reunion. You may still be holding these delightful events after 2000 A,D. At these relmions your memories will very likely be centered about the old NJ-LS. building, the night of the fire, the two years in garages, store buildings and churches You will also recall the construction of the new NJ-LS. building and most of you will recall the thrill of moving into the new school building. I hope that you will also remember the hmm- dreds of hours spent by the school board dur- ing the emergency. The school hoard mem- bers worked enthusiastically that you might finish high school. You may have the oppor- tlmiry to serve on a school board. I hope you will serve as unselfishly as the Nevada school board. C. 1-1. JONES, JR. Superintendent I hope you will remember the thousands of citizens--rich and poor--who turned out in the election to approve bonds for the new N. H.S. 'I'hese people were willing to tax themselves at the highest rate in N.H.S. history. They dld this for you. When you are older and are voting on school tax issues, remember what another generation of oldsters did for you :ln 1957. When things are back to normal, don't forget the difficulties you were under during the emergency. 'I'he traditions of N. H.S. did not die but were kept glowing-ready to be transplanted in the new N.H.S. Now, a new age is beginning for N.H.S. students. A new school, a new expanded site, an expanded faculty and a bigger and better program are all just around the corner. It is my hope for you that your school memories will be recalled with pleasure and that you will profit by what you did at N.H.S. Sincerely yours, MRS. RUTH WELTMER Secretary to Superintendent and Board of Education d t 0 MISS KLEETIS wmTH
